Glowing chairs make for great late night barbecues

Summer is here, which means it's time to move the party outside. As we've discussed, the first step is to get yourself a grill -- but finding the right furniture for your al fresco get together is equally important.

Enter Douglas Homer, and the AfterGlow patio chair. In the daytime, this looks like your everyday Adirondack. But in the dark, the chair has a surprise -- it glows. Not only would this serve the practical purpose of keeping people from crashing into your furniture all night long, it'd be the talk of the party (and would make anyone who sat in it look magic).

As an added bonus, the chair was constructed from 100% post-consumer goods -- high-density polyethylene, to be exact, which means it was more or less made from old milk jugs.

So now you can barbecue 'til the break of dawn -- and look cool doing it.

Not smart if your house was going to robbed at night. They wouldn't trip over the glowing chairs.They could sneak in.

Um, okay, but is this in lieu of having some sort of actual lighting out there?

Because unless you've got superhero vision, you're going to need some source of light other than your chairs to keep from dripping your burger all over your shirt or sloshing your margarita all over your boss.

But anything glow-in-the-dark is by definition, cool.

That's about as useful as a glowing condom.

Back a few years glow in the dark watch dials were made from radio active material that was cancer causing. Are these pieces of furniture safe or are you going to end up with colon or testicular cancer from sitting on them?

Sounds good for one or two nights . Then the rest of the year deal with thought as a weirdo or an Atanta Braves Fan .
